This is one of my favourite Italian restaurants. I love the vibe, both upstairs and downstairs. The restaurant has lively decor with lots of colour and friendly staff. A good selection of drinks and cocktails with some interesting daily specials. The “house” sauce on their calamari pizza is the reason I keep going back. It’s absolutely divine. I can’t recommend it enough. I’ll even drive from the East Rand just for take aways. Meal type Lunch Price per person R 250–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Caipirinha Jug
We went to Topo Gigio for a quick lunch. We had the cheese burger and bacon and cheese burger. Both come with a very large portion of chips. It was okay, not mind blowing, but adequate. The patty and toppings were generally good, the cheese was a bit rubbery and tasteless. The service was good. There are some loiterers around.

Snails were watery, have had better. Don't have much to say about the wings, had 1, flavour-less like they were boiled in water and brushed with the sauce. If you like being served by alcohol and cigarette smelling waiters, then this is the place for you. If you want to sit with an empty glass for a good 20 min then when requesting a refill you are told it's closing time, this is 100% the place for you. If you want your table to be wiped by a smelling, off-putting cloth, then this is definitely the place for you. The 2 stars are just for the atmosphere and the long island. It might just be the only good thing about this place. Don't waste your money at this place. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
The pizza was to die for, however the drinks are overpriced if I have to be fair. Otherwise the vibe was amazing. Will go back for their pizza. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 450–500 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Absolutely delicious Italian food!! Definitely would recommend the seafood, and teriyaki pizza! You can't go wrong with majority of the food and there usually a cocktail special from 3-5pm for all Jugs. Parking would be the only issue and if you are going to be eating here on the weekend, it's best to book. Follow me on Instagram: @deli_kasi
Salmon foccacia was really light and enjoyable. Loved the pizzas as well. The drinks were okay but good deal on half price jugs. Will definitely visit again

Okay, we didn't know that you had to book in advance because this place is popular but now that we now, we'll do that next time. Anyways, the vibe at this place is out of this world, nothing I've seen anywhere else. The pizza we ordered was very nice, like very very nice, plus the drink were half price which was the cherry on top. The live music. Beautiful live music, soothing songs of love. Definitely going back here again.
Highly recommended restaurant to try! The staff are friendly and the menu is overwhelmingly tasty as there are too many options to choose from. Everything we ordered was delicious. The portions were surprisingly sizeable and absolutely tasty. Parking may be an issue on busy evenings so the best is to park at the back. Pre-book your table as this place gets incredibly busy.

Tried ordering food but the waiters seemed to ignore us. We managed to get 1 round of drinks in then left to go find food. Trying to pay the bill was another mission since the waiters still ignored us. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 100–150 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
